liberties with the chickens of l.. NJ. Stevens

when he wished. but it did go off when he
didn't. Mrs. Hite Zurich, who was passing
at the time, was so badly frightened that
she was laid up for several weeks by the

Additional Particulars.

CHATswoRTH, August 12.--In ad.
dition to the eighty-siX or eighty-seven
known to be dead, there were three of
the wounded at Chatsworth whom
physicians pronounce to be beyond
recovery. They lay in the town hall
and are being cared for by relatives or
kind sympathyzers in every way pos
sible. These three were Mrs. g. II.
Clark, of Rootstown, Ohio, Mrs, Mary
Vallejo, of Peoria, and Harry b. Law
renee, of Burling ton, Iowa. The list
of wounded are necessarily incomplete
and the full extent of injuries will
probably never be known. The wo-
men OF Chatsworth have been very
good, doing everything possible for the
wounded people, thirty of whom still
live in the town hall and several are ut
private houses. At the depot and
other places where the dead lay there
were many sad scenes to-day. Anxious
relatives arrived from towns along the
line west and began search for their
friends among mangled and ghastly
corpses. Husbands were looking for
wives, parents for children and sons
for parents. Among these was j.
Kelley, of Breeds station, u young man
looking for his father and uncle. He
looked in vain among the dead bodies
for his relatives, but when he applied
to the coroner he was shown the dead
body OF his father, John p. Kelly. The
features. Later in the day he found
his uncle, John b, Kelly, badly
wounded lying in the town hall. The
body of Paul Sackenacuter, of Pekin,
has not yet been certainly identified;
one of his workman, John Zeidler, is
among the killed. His head was
crushed from both sides so that the
features were entirely unacceptable.
The body of Mrs. s. A. Mcclure and
her infant, from Ketsburg, have been
identified among the dead lying in
the school house last night. The last
body was removed from there to-day.
1t was that of Mrs. Stoddard, of Fort
Madison, Iowa. Another body identi-
fled during the night was that of Mrs.
Rode Blandin, nee Florence of Par
ker's Corners, Ills. Her husband ar
rived on the late train and found her
body and shipped it home. Mrs. Blan-
din had with her two little daughters,
Ida and Bertha, the former has one Of
her hips crushed, but Bertha is but
slightly injured. Side by side in the
depot this morning lay the dead bodies
of F. X. Hill and his wife and baby
from Berwick, Ills. The babe was
placed on the mothers breast, in
rough pine box, and the family sent
on its return trip. Among unclaimed
and unnamed is one body of Peoria
boot black.

between Wallace Ross and Geo. Bu-

to-day, and was won by the English

minutes. Ross took the lead on the

last quarter of mile, when the seat
broke and Bubear rowed home. When
the accident occurred Ross led by
